Wee Panther Pals is a school readiness program for preschool children ages 3-5 residing in the Derby USD 260 school district. Children attend class once a week with a parent (or grandparent) to participate in structured learning activities. During a typical Wee Panther Pals class, children are exposed to a variety of learning opportunities including classroom routines and procedures, circle time, learning centers, early literacy, handwriting, math, science, art, show and tell, and cooperative play. This program provides parents the unique opportunity to be hands-on in their child’s early learning and development in preparation for kindergarten. There is a $70 annual tuition fee to participate in the Wee Panther Pals program. Financial assistance is available based on income. Classes begin September 2019 and go through May 2020.
